Doug McDermott's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Indiana Pacers forward Doug McDermott (calf) is available Wednesday against the Detroit Pistons. The veteran sharpshooter last played on February 26th and missed 10 consecutive contests due to a right calf strain. He has been average for the Pacers this season. When healthy, McDermott has averaged 4.7 points and 1.0 assists in 13.3 minutes per game during his last 18 outings. Coming back after missing a lengthy period, the 32-year-old will likely see limited minutes.

Indiana Pacers forward Doug McDermott (calf) is questionable Wednesday against the Detroit Pistons. He last played on February 26th, and he's in danger of missing 11 consecutive contests. However, him being listed as questionable instead of out is good news for Indiana. If the veteran forward cannot suit up due to a right calf strain, Jarace Walker, Obi Toppin and Ben Sheppard could see more playing time. Unfortunately, the four forwards aren't solid fantasy options for Wednesday's matchup.

Indiana Pacers forward Doug McDermott (calf) will remain out of the lineup on Monday versus Cleveland. We haven't seen the sharpshooter on the court since Feb. 26, and Monday will mark his 10th consecutive absence. With McDermott unavailable, Jarace Walker and Obi Toppin have a chance to earn more minutes as backup forwards, while Ben Sheppard also benefits off the bench. The latter has actually seen the biggest rise in playing time recently. Sheppard has yet to show good enough consistency to be regarded as a good fantasy option.
